Our old water softener system was in a bad shape. I had to replace it as I needed soft water. I purchased one from the Discount Water Softeners' website and the ordering process was easy. The Discount water softener works awesome and the cost is reasonable. Also, the shipping was really fast as it took about 4 days.

My old water softener system went out on me after 15 years, so I needed a new one and Discount Water Softeners' technology and price were intriguing. When I ordered their water softener, I did most of it online and their website was nice and effective. Then I confirmed my order over the phone with the rep to make sure that I was getting the right stuff. Since I had already done most of the research, when I chatted with their consultant, it was about confirming that what I was buying was the right solution. But the solution that I purchased from them was garbage. It doesn't perform to the level of efficiency that it was supposed to and I’ve never been able to successfully get it to complete a cycle without running out of hard water. I've made all the adjustments, but it's still running less efficiently than something I would buy from a big-box store for half the price and get a better performing solution.
Within a month after buying their product, I've reached out to Discount, but I haven't been able to get any support from them. They just finger-pointed and said it was the manufacturer's problem and they pushed me out to deal with the manufacturer on my own. The manufacturer has been good at me, but Discount itself won’t even talk to me. I have bought three other water softeners for my other properties and I'm very happy with them, and I have no reason to go back to Discount. Although they've got a great website and they have good potential for a great product, they won’t back it up and it doesn't do what they said it was supposed to do. It has been performing very poorly and I'm not satisfied with it. As a matter of fact, I was trying to get them to swap out one of their piece-of-crap water softeners and they would get back the fancy one that I bought from them, since it's of that much value to me.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We originally involved the manufacturer at their request when we reached out to them to assist. We will be contacting them again to let them know that the issue is still not resolved for you. We do apologize and assure you we will make sure the issue you are experiencing with your system is resolved for you

My softener had died. It was 20 years old and wasn't softening the water at all. I'm on well water which is extremely hard and I like the feel of soft water. So, I went to Discount Water Softeners' website and ordered a water softener. The process was pretty seamless. The site kind of walked me through everything pretty well including installation. It was also very easy to define how many people in the home and what the demand would be. The only thing I struggled with was trying to get my well company tell me the hardness of the water. They didn't really want to disclose a lot of that stuff for reasons I'm not sure.
The product came here very quickly. Within a couple of weeks, it was at the door. I installed it myself and the softener seems excellent. It's got a straightforward kind of digital input and the hook is quiet. As compared to my old one, this softener doesn't seem to be wasteful of either salt or water which I'm happy about. Going with Discount Water Softeners is such an easy option. I've recommended them to a friend.

Thanks Kipley for your review! We want to make the process of purchasing the right water softener for your home as seamless as possible. So thank you for reviewing that process! We're sorry to hear that your well company wasn't very comparative. But we are happy to hear that you have soft water now! Thank you again for your review and for recommending DWS!

I built a new house and needed the water softener because we're on a well and we have tannins in our water. I went to Discount Water Softeners' website and got their Upflow Genesis water softener. The water softener seems to be fine, but I picked up a core separator and the top of it blew off while I was out of the house, which flooded my basement. It happened the other day and I haven't called them yet. But overall, I would recommend them.

My old water softener unit stopped working and I got the Genesis Upflow Premier unit as a replacement. I ordered it through Discount Water Softeners' website and it was simple and easy to use. They had everything laid out well and it worked out well. I've been using the water softener but it's not working exactly as I expected. I've reached out to Discount's customer service support, and they sent me a confirmation email that they received my request. But I'm still waiting for somebody to contact me. The company itself has been great and I would definitely do business with them again. But the product that I've had has not been ideal.

I purchased an income property and it did not have a water softener system. The property is located in a place where there is very hard water. The dishwasher and the washing machine didn't work. All the aerators were covered with lime and calcium. I was putting in new appliances and decided to put the water softener to make sure they would work well. I purchased the Genesis Premier UpFlow from Discount Water Softeners. Their website has pretty good comparisons and I have purchased four water softeners off their website at different times.
The quality of their items is very high. They work very well and are relatively easy to install. The instructions were straightforward and easy to follow. There were no parts missing, they were well put together, and well-packaged. It's been about six months since the latest one was installed and everything seems to be operating fine and there's no evidence of hard water damage.
My overall experience was good. It gave me the confidence in what I was purchasing and confidence to recommend what I was purchasing in the website to other people. I have recommended Discount Water Softeners to a few people who were looking for or have looked for them. I have neighbors who have used the site and purchased water softeners as a result. I tell others to figure out what they need and the website can help them do that. Some of the assumptions on water use are a little bit outdated. Go explore it and when you pick one, buy one from them. They have quality items at reasonable prices. I'm probably gonna be looking them up again within the next year or so to buy another water softener for a different property. I don't intend to even look anywhere else unless they drastically change their product line or dramatically change their prices relative to other vendors.

We have hard water so we got a water softener system from Discount Water Softeners. I talked to them on the phone and visited their website too. Their website was good and their rep was great. It was good talking on the phone just to make sure I will get the right product and they were very helpful doing that. And then once I knew that, it was easy to go online and do it all there. We explored through all the options and they made sure I was getting the right size. So far, the quality is good and the cost was great. Since then, our water is softer. I’d recommend them.

This company's product is 100% US-made and from talking to them over the phone and reading reviews, it seemed like a solid product. I was replacing an older unit and was ordering from Discount Water Softeners online. But then I started a chat and had a phone call with someone. The representatives I spoke with were totally fine. I knew what I was looking for but they did help guide my decision-making as well. Then I did the installation myself. There were no issue and now, it's working fine. Discount Water Softeners has good customer service and good quality product.

Thank you so much for your review Pete! Being a U.S. based company is very important to us and we're proud to be! We're glad to hear that the process was smooth and that our reps were helpful. If there's ever anything that you need help with or have questions, please get in touch with us!

Our water softener system in the shower went out and the water was hard. The water didn't soap up and there were no suds in the shower. Our skin and hair didn't soften and it made our skin itchy as well, so we wanted another system. We then bought a system from Discount Water Softeners because of the price. Its quality seems good and we don't have any complaints.

Having hard water isn't fun and experiencing the results from that is even worse so we're very glad that you now have soft water! Thank you for purchasing from us and if you ever have questions or concerns, please contact us.

I had hard water and I purchased the water softener and water purification under the sink from Discount Water Softeners. I bought them through the website and it was easy to navigate. Then, I had some issues with the water purification thing. It wasn't producing water and it wasn't building pressure. I went around and around for a while with their service department in trying to get that figured out. In the end, they sent me a new one and that seemed to work great. But it took a little while to get a replacement sent over. Other than that, the quality of the items seem to be fine and using them made my wife happy. I would recommend Discount Water Softeners.

I've tried a water softener at one of my friend's house. Since I liked it, I also got a water softener and ordered it over the phone from Discount. The representative was easy to work with. However, I'm confused and I have some questions 'cause the quality of the water at my friend's house is better. Also, we see a lot of salt build-up around the faucet and we didn't get a proper manual on how much salt I should put in the salt bucket. We feel like the water is not coming the way it should and sometimes, after the reconditioning cycle, we see that the water comes out really brown and we have to flush it.

The house I bought had a water softener system but I had to keep resetting the computer board as the system was probably 16 years old. There are softeners that are a lot more energy efficient, so I didn't want to battle with the old one. I purchased my new water softener right through Discount on the internet and the ordering process was fine. The Discount water softener seems to get rid of the iron real good. I know softeners don’t get rid of iron, but the Discount water softener gets rid quite a bit of it so I’m really happy about it. The only trouble I had wasn’t really the softener’s fault. It’s just that there was too much salt in the bridge, so I had to flake the bridge in the tank and it has been working fine now.
I’d tell my friends to go ahead and purchase a Discount water softener. The main reason I did was because one of the reviews or advertisements they had said, "No questions asked." I studied it for a couple of months before I decided to go with them. Although the softener I got had a seven or 10-year guarantee, I worry more about the powerhead more than anything in it. So if the softener lasts that long then I’m pretty happy with it because I don’t see anything else going wrong except for the powerhead on the softener. I know a lot of water softeners don’t have that long of a guarantee. So for the extra money, I get with Discount some things that I like as their softener would operate a bit different than the other softeners where the water went off. Also, the Discount water softener saves on salt that I don’t use as it kinda regenerates it a bit.

Hi John,
Thank you so much for your review. We're happy to hear that your water softener is working to remove even the extra iron in your water!
If anything ever happens with the powerhead, don't hesitate to let us know. We'll look into what we can do to satisfy you! Thank you for recommending us and we're happy to also hear that you're seeing the salt savings.

The system I got from Discount Water Softener was for a new home. I'm in an area with hard water and I was given recommendations. When I did price comparisons to the Big Box, Lowe's and Home Depot, Discount Water was cheaper enough. I purchased the whole-house system through a website and the ordering was pretty straightforward. I had to do some research on the size that I needed. Online shopping for a water softener is a little tricky because you have to know how hard your water is and the grains per gallon, but once I knew what size I needed as far as going on that website and finding the right size, it was pretty easy.
The system was shipped and then I had a local plumber install it. We have been living in the house for a little bit before we got the system, so we could definitely tell the significant difference when we got it hooked up, how softer the water is. I’m definitely satisfied with Discount Water. My experience with them was mostly positive and I’ve recommended them.

Doing your due diligence paid off Kevin! We're pleased that you went with us and have seen the results in your new home.
It can be tricky shopping for a water softener so we're glad you were able to figure it out. If you need any help in the future, don't hesitate to ask! Thank you for the recommendation!

I have hard water. I went on the website of Discount Water Softeners and I decided to purchase their product online. The ordering process was moderately easy and their website was easy-ish to navigate through. But there were some things that were a little strange and confusing, but not terrible, so I had to call them. I dealt directly with their customer service reps and they were fine. When the product was delivered, one part came broken, which was kinda disappointing. They shipped me a new part but it was sad to get a part that was broken in shipping. Also, the installation instructions were subpar at best. There were instructions on part of it but there were no instructions on how to put everything else on. That was pretty bad. Other than that, I've noticed a difference in my water since having their system. It’s not earth-shattering, but it is better.

When I purchased the Fleck 5600, I ordered it through the Discount Water Softeners' website. The process was quick, and their reps contacted me through email. However, the last product I received looked like there was a shift to a different manufacturer, so it came a bit different from the other products they had. In addition, they need to deal with a better quality control on their shipment through UPS. Given the quality of the items I've purchased, I’m switching to a different supplier.

I was able to get the water softener unit from Discount Water Softener for half the cost as compared to the places that deal directly in it, so I was really happy. I then had the unit installed by my own guy and he also recommended the unit because his has lasted close to 30 years. I'm really happy with what I got. I can see how many gallons it has before it recharges and it keeps a running count. That's a really nice feature that I enjoyed, and it's easy to use. It's all touch button and I can reset it. It's a pretty nice system and the water's a lot better using it. I would highly recommend it.

I'm running on a well and it's known to be a hard area so I needed to get some of the iron out and some of the softness in. I looked at a lot of different products and purchased the Fleck 5600SXT from Discount Water through their website as it seemed that it was the best value for my money. However, I was disappointed that I never got a response back when I placed a request for a basic setup initially. I was able to get a setup to what I believe is correct, but I'm not 100% sure for the size of softener that I have. We've only had it for six months but it seems to be functioning fine and it does its job. I'm also using an iron out salt so I don't have any redness in any of the fixtures in the house. I've been very pleased with my experience and I'd recommend them.

I'm disappointed with the Genesis model that I got from Discount Water Softeners and I'm thinking of returning it. I was replacing my previous one because it was so old and something in it was failing. I figured that the kits needed to do the maintenance on it were almost as much as the softener. When Discount offered Genesis, I liked the idea of not using as much salt. Also, while all the traditional water softeners were downflow, Genesis was upflowing and the water has gone through a lot of salt. It also says on their website that everybody's been satisfied with it. There's none that's been returned. After doing research, I looked at the size of it and then I picked the model.
I thought it would be maintenance-free for a long time and I just needed salt. But the unit doesn't work as advertised. It is big enough for my family of four and the house, but there have been a lot of times that we didn't have soft water and I'm not sure why. I go down and I manually regenerate it but then it still doesn't have soft water. I constantly have to clean our fixtures in our house because of it. I spent a lot of time on the unit to get it to the required rates that they advertised. I even went over it, hoping that it'd regenerate more. But it doesn't. It also doesn't use the salt like they say it does.
Another thing with it is that I can't set the times when I want to regenerate. Once you set your hardness and all the criteria for the softener, it sets its own times. I looked at different companies such as Fleck and Culligan but I went with the bang for the buck. I took a chance on Discount but in hindsight, I should have just bought the $600 Fleck model that was very similar to what I had. I probably would have been happier since at least my old one kept my water softened.

I purchased a Genesis Revolution 64,000 Grain Water Softener from them on December 20, 2017 and installed it approximately 10 days later. My water hardness before the installation was between 25-26 GPG and has continued to run that consistently before entering the softener. Initially my softener worked as described, or so I thought. One afternoon in February I decided to re-check the hardness of my water, and it had increased to between 15-17 GPG with over 900 gallons left before regeneration. I performed a manual regeneration and the water hardness dropped to between 0-1 GPG. I then re-checked with approximately 1000 gallons remaining before regeneration, and again, the hardness had increased to 15 GPG.
I initially contacted them on February 24, 2018 to tell them of my issues. Off and on since then we have tried several fixes, none of which solved my issue. They contacted the manufacturer who suggested I check to see if the float assembly would move freely; the assembly would not move freely, suggesting it was air locked. After a couple of manual regenerations, the unit would still airlock. The manufacturer sent me a new assembly which I installed on May 20, 2018 and then scheduled a regeneration for that night. I checked my water hardness the next morning, May 21, 2018 and it was down to 0 GPG. I checked the water hardness again on May 25, 2018 with 987 gallons remaining and the hardness was 2 GPG. I re-checked the water hardness again on, May 26, 2018 and with 756 gallons remaining the hardness has jumped to 11 GPG. So, in a little over 200 gallons of usage, the water hardness had increased 9 GPG.
Since the replacement of the float assembly, we have tried replacing injectors and different programming; none of which have fixed the problem. I have now entered the seventh month since I purchased this unit, and they have yet to fix the problem. I mentioned that since this unit was purchased new and has not worked properly from day one, that I would like a complete new unit. They answered with that they had talked to the manufacturer rep again and would be sending me a new brine tank. I do not believe that it is too much to ask that a product bought new from a company that has not worked properly since day one, be replaced after 5 months of attempted repairs. I purchased a similar sized Fleck from them in 2016 for my previous home and had no issues. I don’t know if I have received a lemon, but I cannot in good conscience recommend this product or company due to the issues I continue to have.

I purchased a Genesis model and there was some deal you could get if you bought the quick connection kit with the water softener upfront but I didn’t realize that till after. I talked to a sales consultant via email and tried to get him to retroactively apply it. But he wasn't able to do that.

We have hard water so we purchased a Genesis water softener online. On the Discount Water Softeners' website, it says there that the water softener is going to regen at a delayed regen time. The rep, whose expertise wasn’t good, was adamant about this and turned it to the on position so it regens at 2:00 AM every day. I needed to have that setting set to the off position so it only regens however long the regen cycle takes. But that was also the opposite of what they tell on the video and in the instructions that come with it.
Finally, after I programmed and reprogrammed, read the manual, and looked at the video over and over again, I talked to the rep. I told them that it's an error and they ought to change their video and their instructional manuals because that was a frustrating experience. Also, it costs a lot of money to regen every day as water here in Arizona isn’t cheap. Then I had some other issues and a question that I asked through email but they never responded, so I gave up. If I had the instructions right and they’ve been responsive to me, it would’ve been a better experience.

I am very sorry for any confusion on the programming of your system. The system will not regenerated at a delayed regeneration each night unless someone manually turns it on. Our video and manual instructions do reflect that but if it was confusing I do apologize. Please feel free to reach out to us again if you need any additional support. We have recently moved to a larger facility that will allow us the ability to take on more staff to assist you faster.

Genesis Revolution 64,000 grain Water Softener - I purchased and installed this unit six months ago. At first, it worked extremely well but recently stopped working altogether. It runs through its regeneration cycle as programmed but makes no soft water. I worked through the troubleshooting guide checking everything that was suggested but nothing worked. I then attempted to call Customer Service but no one answered. I called five times over two weeks each time leaving my name and contact information. I never received any response. Once, someone actually answered the phone only to tell me no technicians were available but assured me someone would get back to me right away. Nothing.

I’m in West Loxahatchee River in Florida, and the water had tannins in it and was dark. I bought a house that had a water softener at the property and it needed to be rebuilt. And I had a neighbor who had used Discount Water Softeners and said that their service was good. So, I called and set me up and they sent me all the stuff that I needed to put new guts in my water softener. The product is supposed to take out everything. I had to get two different types of filter that go in it. One’s a regular one and another one’s some special thing that takes out the tannins and the colors.
My neighbor had given me a good indication of what I needed because he did the same thing for his water. And then when I contacted Discount's salesperson, he knew what I was talking about. In fact, he pulled up the other person’s account and said, “Yeah. This is what we sold him.” So far, the overall quality of the products has been really good. My water’s starting to taste a little funky again. Over a matter of four days, there was a complete change in the water. I live here by myself so I don’t use a lot of water. And before I could never get any bubbles. The water was too damn dark but now, I'm getting soap in the shower. It’s worked out very well. I’d recommend Discount.

Thank you so much for trusting in us and in your neighbor, Ronald! We're very happy to have been able to clear up your water quality. We know having tannins and other impurities is not a good sight (or taste)! If there is ever an issue with your water quality or system, please let us know!

I have hard water here in my vacation home. I wanted a whole-home water softener and I Googled it. The reviews came up and Genesis was one of the best. Then I shopped for the price and Discount Water Softeners had the best one. They carried the Genesis, which was recommended online, and the deal included free delivery, so, I purchased a unit from them on behalf of my son through his company. I did it online and their website was very useful. It was great because you could put in the hardness of your water, then it would recommend a system. Everything I needed to find to make an informed decision was there online and I just backed it up with a couple of other Google searches to make sure it was correct.
Everything was right on with my order and I was happy with delivery. It was very fast and everything was included in the package. Plus, the system works great and it's very good quality. I've got two other homes with water softeners and this one from Discount Water Softeners is by far the best system I've got. The cost was excellent, too, compared to what I am getting. If I wanted the other prices or services, I could call them again and they'd come out and do it all. But this is much cheaper. If I had to buy another water softener, I'd go back to the same place. I'd also tell others to use Discount Water Softeners. They're considerably less expensive than their competitors for the same product, except the shipping was done the next day, so we had the product within a few days.

I live in Arizona where the water is really hard and I was trying to get the best price with a good water softener system. I purchased the Genesis water softener through Discount Water Softeners' website. The site was really good and has a lot of good information to educate myself. But the problem was you need to find someone to install. Since they said it's really easy to install, I thought it would be something that you could do yourself. It was a little bit more complex than we could do by our own and at the end, I had to pay someone to install. I also ordered the Reverse Osmosis water filter and I don’t think it’s working properly or that is no pressure there because now the water pressure in my refrigerator is really low. So, I’m not satisfied. But so far, Discount Water Softeners' products have been great. I’d tell people to buy from them.

The water in Arizona is extremely hard. I used the web and the reviews that were posted online to research water softener products and a lot of those reviews were posted with people who directly purchased from Discount Water Softeners' website. Their site was great and worked well for me. It provided all the information I needed to make a good decision. I bought the Genesis system from there and the experience was good. Everything was received which included all the parts and necessary equipment and nothing was damaged. The installation was straightforward as well. The Youtube videos also provided a lot of helpful information for the installation.
The product works really well. It provides water that is better for your skin and that actually takes the soap away from your skin. If the soap doesn’t come off, your skin would stick a little bit, the soap would get stuck in your pores, and you'd end up with acne. The quality of the system is fine too. It's meant to last because it was made here in the United States and not sourced out of another nation using cheap labor. Also, the cost was excellent. For the product that was received, it was priced appropriately. I’ve recommended Discount Water Softeners to a couple other friends who had purchased homes or in need of a water softener system.

I had a water softener system back in the day. I bought one for my parents for a present for them because they lived out to where they had well water and it’s hard water. It was a nice system and then when they passed away, I removed it so then we got to get used to it and got spoiled with it. When it started to get it where it kept running water into the drain and to be overflowed where it kept draining out and I went to buy parts for it, I can’t get them. The thing was 25 years old and I was told its parts were obsolete. I tried fixing it and rigged it up and got it working again but then I decided to buy one and found out a new premier up-flow water softener system that Discount had so I got it.
We loved it and it was working great. But then three months after we had it, we noticed that our water wasn’t soft again. Its valve was messing up and it wasn’t drawing from the brine tank. I talked to their guys and did all the stuff they told me to do but still wasn’t functioning properly. I shipped it out back to them and they couldn’t fix it either. They sent it back to the manufacturer and they just sent me a new head assembly and it’s been working fine since. They handled the situation greatly. It’s easy to hook up and doesn’t use up salt like the other one did.

My water softener system was about 19 years old, and it wasn’t working anymore. The Discount Water Softeners website was thorough and had all the information I needed, especially when comparing to other brands that I had found on other sites. It made it easy for me to figure out what they had, what the pros and cons were, and it’s what allowed me to make the right decision. I went to the site and put in a request for a quote. The salesperson called me up and asked me exactly what it is I needed, what kind of pipes I had, the size, so that he could better explain to me the stuff I saw on the website and answer any questions that I also might have had, which was helpful. I wasn’t exactly sure how the hookup was going to work and that cleared that up, which is what made me purchase it.
I got a quote with a discount and when I was ready, I bought a medium-end water softener and a hookup kit. They delivered it to my house for free and the gentleman was kind enough to bring the unit all the way down to my basement for me instead of just leaving it at the front door, which I thought was very nice. The quality as compared to the cost is very good and the system is way better than the builder grade I originally had. This was superior and very easy to install. Originally, I was getting quotes to have somebody install it and I was stunned at the price they wanted for that, especially knowing what the prices of the units were and how easy it was to install. I ended up doing it myself and saved $1,200. Also, I used to buy 40-pound bags of salt a month, and now I’m buying one a month.

I went to Discount Water Softeners' website and I ended up talking to a rep. They instructed me how to do everything. They selected the light water softener. I went through a whole questionnaire and I answered a lot of their questions. And so, they directed me to the Genesis Revolution. They were very knowledgeable about the product and I had a great experience with them. They sent me in the right direction as far as the Genesis Revolution. I love it. It's been very reliable and I have no complaints so far.
I have a lot of hard water and the levels are pretty high so I needed the water softener system. I needed more samples to test my hard water because it was borderline and I haven't tested it in a while. I wanted to see if it's holding or if it's off a little bit but the results are much better now with the Discount Water Softeners installed. When my wife does the wash, cleaning the clothes is better now, and the dishwasher is working better too. So, it is helping out in all the way around.
I did the installation back on February 17 and they also have short videos on how to install, which was good. It was an easy setup. It wasn't complicated and everything went smooth. I'm very happy with it. When I did the installation, I put the pack from Discount Water Softeners where they have all the information right on the wall. So, when I talk about it, I got all the information here that I can tell other people.

All those questions and testing paid off, Norbert! We aim to match everyone with the water softener that they need. And the results are shown by the quality of your washes, either dish or clothes. So we're happy that you are seeing results in all areas! The Genesis Revolution is a great product.

All the waters were hard so we got a Genesis from Discount Water Softeners. I purchased it through their website and I liked that I could compare the different models there. The quality of the system was very good and cost was average. But UPS had messed up the delivery. So I got in touch with Discount Water through email and they responded quickly. But I was not impressed with them since they were somewhat rude in their response.
UPS shipped it to Tampa and they were sending it back to the company. The explanation I got from UPS was that Discount Water Softeners did not pay for the separate shipping. So I contacted Discount and they said it was UPS' fault. That's where all the confusion came in. But the water is a lot better with the system and it's not near as hard on the faucets. Their customer service could have been friendlier but I would probably buy from Discount Water Softeners again and I would recommend them.

Texas has hard water, and I had a water softener from the original purchase of the house. I knew that the water was shot so I started looking for solutions on the internet. I talked with their sales consultant and they made it easy for me to understand and to deal with. After dealing with them, I understood exactly how it works and what I need. I then bought Discount Water's Genesis Premier system. It's a water softener system with a separate canister for the salt. It was the best cost I found anywhere. When I had a question, I called them, they showed me through their video on the website and I solved the issue myself. Buying a Discount Water Softeners has been the best experience I had and I am extremely satisfied with it.

I have hard water and so I bought a water softener. Discount did everything they said they would do, shipped everything out quickly, and kept me informed of what was going on. However, now the water softener doesn’t seem to soften the water as much as I thought it would and it leaves a funny taste. I’ve spoken with the Discount reps several times and they would just tell us to taste-test our water again. They said we're going to get a little salty taste, but it is metallic. They didn't try to help me out with anything. I finally got fed up with it and figured I’ll have to live with it until I can get it replaced with something else.

I got well water and my water softener system was 20 years old and I wanted to upgrade it and get a more efficient one. So, I got Genesis from Discount Water Softeners via their website.

I buy and flip houses and I have installed about eight Discount Water Softeners systems. We have some iron in our water in the region where we live and we also have fairly hard water. I purchase Discount Water Softeners online and their website is awesome. One thing I wish they had was a person one could ask questions to live on their website. If Discount Water Softener has any issues at all, it is they're hard to communicate with. If I try to contact their sales consultants via phone, I’d end up playing phone tag. I have done it on email too and it didn't go really well. But when I was able to speak with the consultants, they tried to be as helpful as possible. They’re so secure in their product that they talk over the head a little. But they get the issues.
I’ve installed Quark and Fleck systems in the past but I transferred over to the Genesis product because I rent some out of my projects and I wanted to save costs in the long run. But, I have mixed feelings with Genesis because I have one in my house and it is not functioning up to the old Quark or Fleck system. I cannot get the water soft enough. The Genesis water softener was easy to install and program though. Overall, Discount Water Softeners had been convenient for me. I had a good experience with them and I would recommend them.

I've had a good experience with Discount Water Softeners. I built a new home so I needed a water softener. I bought the softener online on their fine website and the process wasn't the easiest but it was all right. The research was a difficult though because they had so many products. But I called the hotline for Discount Water Softeners and they kind of helped me out with that based on my needs. I got a twin tank, the 24,000 grain, from them. I installed the water softener myself, but I wish they had a better instructional video on installing all the products and not just a generic product. I didn't see anything like either YouTube or a clip where it had the twin tanks but I saw a lot of the single tank installations through the website.
The biggest issue was the sensor though as I forgot to put it in. I didn't know where it went and I couldn't find it in the directions or on the clips. I called up Discount Water Softeners and they told me about the sensor. They shipped out the missing part the next day. I've had the water softener for four months now, and so far, so good. It's better than the other ones that I've researched. It's a good product and a good choice.

I am on well water and the small water softener unit I had from Home Depot wasn't any good anymore. The Discount Water Softeners sales consultant was very nice and professional. She helped me, asked questions and recommended the Genesis Revolution based on what I had. I was looking for a bigger unit but she told me the Genesis was perfect for my household and she was exactly right. I was very happy with her service and I made the purchase through their website, which was very good to use.
When they first shipped my unit, it was not shipped properly and the unit was cracked. The delivery guys just threw the product in the truck and it had moved around and I was not too happy about that. It should be put in a palette and shipping has to be more professional. I've read the comments that people had the same problem like I did. But then, Discount switched it right away with no questions asked. So other than the shipping issue, I had a very good experience with Discount and they were very professional and understanding. The quality of the unit is very good and although it is a bit loud when it regenerates, I can deal with that. Also, other companies were looking for $2,500 to $5,000 for the same unit. I've already recommended Discount Water Softeners to all my co-workers and I’ve been talking so good about it.

I have hard water with sulfur in it so I bought The Eliminator from Discount Water Softeners. Researching on their website was fairly straightforward. The best help was the lady who responded to questions after filling out a survey. The pricing was pretty cut and dried. It took me two weeks to do the installation over two weekends to get it done. The first weekend, I thought that I got the wrong part. I emailed the question to customer support and I did not get a response until Monday, which was after the time when I was trying to get the thing installed. That was a little frustrating. The guy told me to order this part, but then I misordered. He was polite and said that I shouldn't order that one. And then, the second time when I ordered the wrong part again, he got rude and was kind of a jerk about it through the email.
I had to order a fairly large system because the quality of my water was so poor. They could not ship all of the water softening medium in the system as typical. Normally everything is shipped and it's sealed and you just plumb it up and it's good to go. Whereas, mine you had to add some of the medium to do the actual softening and that was not clearly documented. In fact, I made a mistake and poured the medium into the wrong tank, in which I had to then order another set of the medium and then shot back out the medium that was in the tank. I ended up getting it done right.
The product was a good quality for the cost. It is doing the job and the water is no longer really hard. It's a positive experience overall and I have recommended to a couple of people that if they've gotten quotes for water softeners from professionals, that they should look at doing it themselves and where I chose to get it. Discount Water Softener was fair-priced in my opinion and worth it.

I had softeners before when I lived in Maryland. The plumber that put ours in professionally told me to make sure I buy a Fleck head. So, I went and looked around to see on the web who carried Fleck control valve heads and Discount Water Softener had them. They had the best explanation, they had an install guy and their prices were the best. I’m a repeat customer. Six years ago, I was looking for a water softener. I searched and bought one from Discount Water Softener for my current house. We live in Ocala, Florida and the water here is 13 grains. I like it a lot softer because it helps with the pipes and the cleaning. I bought the Fleck 32,000 Grain through their direct website. It’s cheaper than Amazon. I prefer dealing with companies direct rather than going through a middleman. Their website’s great. Any options are in drop-downs and it’s simple. I also called them to talk about the product. It was a good experience.
Recently I bought another one that’s setting here in the house. My daughter’s building a house and I told her before she gets in the house I want to install one for her. I bought the Genesis System because of the new technology. I was up in Ohio for a wedding and my brother-in-law and I installed one for my nephew and we told him what to get. We called the company to ask about some of the features of the Genesis System and the rep was very knowledgeable and helpful.
Quality-wise, they’re great. The one that I’ve had in-house for six years has no issues. Genesis wasn’t out so I bought the standard one with the Fleck head. The installation was straightforward. The product is all stainless steel and of very good quality. The new Genesis was the easiest installation I’ve ever done. You would pay the same for a made in China water softener at Home Depot or Lowe’s and it wouldn’t have the quality head and the good fittings on it. It also wouldn’t last as long.
Our pipes are doing better. I use less soap and I feel cleaner. I recently had to do some plumbing on the house. It was six years old when we bought it and there is an area where it had calcification prior to the water softener being put in. Once I cleaned it out, I don’t have any issues. Same with the water heater. I redid that and it helped considerably. I told everybody I have recommended to go straight to Discount and buy. The product’s good and it’s free shipping. The one I got for my daughter had $100 coupon discount because they had a special going on for the holiday. So, I saved an additional $100. Shipping it out of state with no tax so, it was great. And it came in three days. The other thing is they have great tutorials on their website and their install guide was very clear, which is good. It really helps.

I live in the desert in Palm Springs and the water is hard. I just redid my bathroom and put in clear shower doors and it gets spots. It messes up my dishwasher. I had a lot of hard water spots so I called the water company, found out what the hardness was and then decided to buy a water softener. The fellow that remodeled my place for me just in the last couple months said it's a really good idea to have it so I called and I got a hold of a lady who sells off the internet for Discount Water Softeners and she advised me as to what I needed capacity wise. She asked me how many people live in the place, how long I'm there and said I would need a medium range which made sense to me.
I'm very happy with it. It makes a big difference and I could feel it right away. You know soap lathers much easier, you can feel the difference in the water. It's just not as hard, it doesn't leave the spots all over everything than the way it was before. It's great and the price was excellent. I have a friend that does the monthly thing with Culligan and he's paying $70 a month and in one year I paid off my unit and I own it. It's guaranteed for 10 years so it's tough not to see the advantage of buying it. It's really easy to shop on their website. The people are very helpful and it's easy for somebody that's not really handy to follow and do right. It's done everything that I wanted it to do for the reason that I bought it. I've been very pleased with the results of the hardness of the water and the spotting. I use less water, detergent and salt.
The people and the website are really nice. I actually ordered two by mistake and they fixed it for me right away 'cause I had hit the button twice. The guy that owns the company was out of town for the weekend. He came back and credited my credit card first thing the next Monday morning so I found them really easy to work with. It got delivered right on time and brought it right into my garage. It was right where I set it up and it's been working like a charm ever since.

I looked at a couple of different websites but it seemed that Discount Water had the easiest layout and they were the easiest to deal with, with what I needed. I visited a couple of times considering a water softener is a difficult thing to purchase because it's an intricate piece of machinery. The girl I talked to and the sales team was perfect. She was able to guide me through what I needed, measure my water hardness and take all factors into account and make sure I came out with the right product. They wouldn't even recommend anything until I came back with the proper information. I purchased the Genesis Dual Tank water softener over their website but I used their sales number to guide me to which product I needed.
I bought one of their better ones and not the entry-level water softener so the cost for me was a little bit more expensive, but the product I got delivered better efficiency. It hasn't failed me and it's working properly. I have extremely hard water and I'm on a well so I did it to protect my investment, my pipes and my plumbing fixtures. My brother also needed a water softener so I recommended Discount Water Softeners and I was able to send him their way.

Overall, having it was a great experience but there's one thing that I found could be improved on. I got a dual tank which meant there was a lot of plumbing and the installation manual wasn't clear. I had to hire a plumber to put it together. Their manual could be more specific with diagrams and step-by-step instructions to put it together which might do their customers a little bit as far as saving some money. Other than that, I'm happy with making the purchase and I'm extremely satisfied.

Joaquin, thank you for your review on the website and on the Genesis water softener. We strive to make the entire process easy, simple, and straight to the point for our customers.
Thank you for recommending Discount Water Softeners to your brother! We're pleased to hear that he is also satisfied with his water softener.
We will take your feedback into consideration for the manuals. There is also a tech support line that you can call if you have any future issues with your water softener. Thank you once again for your review and we hope you continue to enjoy your soft water!

We needed a water softener because the water over here is very hard. I went to Discount Water Softeners' website and it's pretty user-friendly. But I had additional questions left so I called them and the rep was very good. I bought the water softener and an osmosis system which is working very well. I also bought a pump to send the water but it is not working properly and still creating a problem. I've called Discount about it but they're very busy and the rep is going to come back to me on it. But our water has been less hard and it's wonderful. I would highly recommend them.

Thank you for your review, Julius! We've redesigned our website so it's even more user-friendly now! We're very happy that your reverse osmosis system is working to your standards! We hope that your issue has been resolved, if not please feel free to email or call us again.

We live out in the country where the water is hard so we decided to purchase a water softener system from Discount Water Softeners over the internet. The website is easy to maneuver and I liked it. Quality-wise, the system's running fine and I hope it continues. It has a warranty so that’s great, and their warranty is longer than Sears or Kenmore. Now, our water is softer and I don’t use as much shampoo and soap. The only concern is they gave a quick setup sheet and a manual that don’t match. But it wasn’t a big deal. The system was easy to set up. I’d recommend them because everything was shipped in a timely manner, the system came in good condition and their prices were reasonable.

Hi Ann,
We're so happy that you found our website easy to navigate. If anything does happen to your system, feel free to call us or email us to use that warranty! We're sorry that the setup sheet and manual didn't match but we're glad you were still able to set up it up. Most importantly save on shampoo, soap, and money!

I just moved into the house two years ago and the water softener system there was about 15 years old, so it was time for a replacement. I purchased the Genesis Premier unit from Discount Water Softeners through their website. It's a big model. Their website was very nice and easy to use. I just looked for the product that I needed. The website was easy to navigate and checkout was quite easy, too, so I was happy with that. But we had a winter storm that week so the delivery of my softener was delayed for a few days, and a rep at Discount called me directly to let me know that.
The item that I received is working well. I like that it's energy-efficient, so I was happy that they built it like that. It's nice and the quality seems to be there. Furthermore, the cost in relation to the quality was definitely fair. Since using the system, we're happy to have soft water. I'd tell a friend who asks about Discount to go to the website and look at it because it's easy to use and see the options. The Discount people were easy to work with. Moreover, delivery was quick and customers can get their orders immediately. The one-day turnaround, which is what usually happens, is very nice and I like it. Overall, Discount had very good customer service.

Hi Constantino, we're so glad to hear that you visited the website and found what you needed easily.

I work in an oil refinery and I work with some people who, like myself, live out on Anchorage. We have a well and our water was really hard. The only solution was a water softener. We got to talking about softeners and I told them what I bought. The first one I ever bought was a Culligan. I lifted about two 50 pound bags of salt a month. Then I got the Sears softener that was supposed to be one that measures the water, metered the water and it regenerated. I went through about 8 to 10 bags a year, a little bit less than the other one.
Now I just bought a Discount Water Softener. I got their product that meters the water that it uses and it self generates whenever it needs to be regenerated. I put a 100 pounds of salt in it when I got it which was several months ago. I went out there the other day to check on it and it didn't even look like it's moved down, maybe about two inches. It hardly uses any salt. Also, their website was easy to use. I had a couple of questions and I called up. I spoke with a young lady and she was very helpful. It was funny because what she was describing and what they had were different because what they had was one that metered the water and then regenerated. And she was telling me I need to set it to regenerate every seven days or something. I wasn't sure what she was talking about. And then when I got it, it was already preset to do everything I needed it to do. It was just a matter of me hooking it up and going with it.
I've looked all over and Discount's website had the best deal for the water softener. Amazon was about $150 more for the exact same one. I bought a water softener from Home Depot and I paid about $200 less but Discount's water softener has a better quality and it's gonna probably last long. It's got a really good warranty too. If it extend behind their warranty I'd be real happy if I need it. But right now, so far, I haven't had any issues with it. It's doing exactly what they said it would do and I hope it continues to do that. Overall, Discount Water Softener was very pleasant to deal with and they were informative. It was a quick and easy install. I didn't need any help. But if I had to had it just from all the information they gave me, I would have a got all the help I needed.

Fred, we're so glad you you were able to purchase your high-flow Genesis Revolution 32,000 grain softener, then have it shipped to Alaska. It makes us all very happy at Discount Water Softeners to hear you're using far less salt than the other models you used previously, because it does put a strain on our back having to go out and add so much salt with down flow softeners.
Adrienne helps explain that customers shouldn't oversize a water softener or it won't regenerate approximately every 7 days if your water is too hard. Each customer is different based on their water readings. We apologize if it was a bit unclear, but you have the correct size and it's working great, so we're glad she was able to help you with the recommendation.

Ordered a dual tank system for very hard water so that there isn't one large unwieldy tank that during low use times would sit forever before backwash in order to have enough capacity to serve the high flow demand periods. The dual tank system is great because there is never a time that you are without soft water. Main complaint is that the instructional videos online and instructions in the box are geared towards the single tank units and not dual tanks. Had to follow the included picture in order to figure out how everything went together. These instructions need to be re-worked. We're about 3 months in though and I keep checking the softener salt but have not yet needed to refill it. The unit is very salt efficient.

Adam, thank you for your feedback. We appreciate your input on your experience with us and the fact that you're enjoying your dual tank system and using very little salt with your upflow softener.

I heard that a water softener system was more beneficial to the household equipment so I decided to get it. I have the Genesis dual tank from Discount Water Softeners which I purchased through their website. I compared pricing online and read that Genesis uses less water and less salt. I decided to go with that after speaking with the Discount Water Softeners representative. They let me know, based on my household size, what size I needed. The reps I spoke with on the phone were also very knowledgeable and professional. They were able to answer all the questions that I had. In the end, I had to decide how much I wanted to spend, whether to go with the Genesis or the regular, older type.
With the Genesis in place, the water seems to be more slippery and better on the skin. It seems to be working and my wife likes it. The only thing was after the installation of the system by the person that I hired, there was water leakage. We had to buy some rubber parts from Home Depot to fix it afterward. But it's been working fine since. The Genesis could have been a little bit cheaper, too. But since they said it's saving water and salt, it could probably be reasonable or comparable in the long run. Otherwise, I would recommend Discount Water Softeners if I'm asked by someone interested in it and want to know more about the differences and what they need. They are very helpful on the phone and they are very friendly too.

I have hard water, and I needed a water softening system and got one from Discount. The website was good. The only problem was that I needed the height and the width of the unit according to the space that I have as I wanted to make sure about the dimensions, but it was difficult trying to search around for the measurements of the water softener, as these were located at the bottom of the page and I had to scroll all the way down. The website has a grid with everything in a quadrant, and one could either scroll from top to bottom or go from left to right. They explained everything about how the system works, and how functional and efficient it is, which is really good. But for the detail or minor stuff, all it takes is a phone call to find out.
Overall, it was a good experience and I would recommend them. For a tough quality water softener, I would go with Discount, although the price is a little above the normal water softener. There are cheaper ones, but these would maybe not last as long. On the other hand, getting the Discount water softener is a long-term investment and it's worth the money, according to the reviews that I've read.

I'm working with Discount Water Softeners because it's not my first experience and it was just as positive as the last time. I had two different applications over the last few years with two different requirements. One in my house on a private well and another on my parent's house on a private well. One for a pH balancer and the other for a water softener. So, through the one year calling on the most recent, we had hard water as well as Iron and Manganese.
Two years ago, I bought a pH balancer for my house and the most recent purchase was a Genesis Premier water softener. I went directly through Discount Water Softeners and worked with two different people, Adrienne and Bill. I'm a technical salesperson of 30 years and know what it's like to deal with people who know what the heck they're talking about. I had, in both cases, fairly complex applications and both Adrienne and Bill were extremely qualified in the area of understanding water testing results and the issues I was having. As well as, all of my technical questions around the many options for correcting said problems.
Online ordering and their price competitiveness were the two things that were primary in my decisions to deal with Discount Water Softeners. But, they've been almost more than this level of technical support on both pre-sales and post-sales. Both are up and running and they absolutely solved my problem as engineered and as advertised.
